The New England Patriots did the expected Thursday and selected LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell with the No. 4 pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
The second and third rounds Friday night should provide more surprise and excitement.
The Patriots go into Day 2 of the draft with three picks -- No. 38 (second round), No. 69 (third round) and No. 77 (third round). Having an extra third-round pick gives New England some extra ammo to maybe trade up in the second or third round if a player it really likes falls a bit.
